Explorers Return

Pretend that you are an explorer like Lewis and Clark. You have
returned from visiting Weedon Island and must show your findings to
your benefactors. You must identify the plants, wildlife, weather, and
soil conditions of this area. Decide whether you want to convince your
benefactor to colonize the area, or if you would like to protect the
area. Do this using stills, videos in i-movie or powerpoint. Provide
audio by making a podcast in Garage Band.
